SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

One of the ways our community can help support Music on The Divide’s Scholarship Committee is by contributing to its Scholarship Fund. Each year we do our best to raise money to give a gift to a graduating senior, or seniors, at the May senior awards evening. These awards are given to a Senior (s) who has shown exceptional musical talent. Because we are a Non-Profit organization, monies are tax deductible. The Scholarship table is located in the rear of the hall at every concert .

SUGARLOAF FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP

For the past eight years, Sugarloaf Foundation has offered a ½ Scholarship to one of our participants in the Young Musicians Concert held in February. Usually the award is given by someone from the Sugarloaf Board. The Music on The Divide Guild also awards a 1/2 scholarship on a yearly basis. In past years, other local organizations have contributed to this fund; The Garden Valley Association has given a 1/2 Scholarship and The WIFFS, an organization of women from Auburn Lake Trails-meaning Women in Fun, Friendship and Service has contributed $100. The Young Musicians Concert Committee is grateful to all these benevolent organizations and individuals who contribute to these generous scholarships. Obviously the lucky recipients do too.

We are exceedingly pleased with the generosity of these community donors and thank them all from the bottom of our hearts. IN THE YEAR 2009, THE COST FOR SUGARLOAF CAMP WAS $420 PER CAMPER, PER WEEK (SESSION)
